Holocaust Causes
“There is nothing that can compare to the Holocaust” –Fidel Castro. The holocaust was one of the most tragic events in world history. It was known as the “Final Solution” to the German tragedy. Even though there are many potential causes of the Holocaust, the three main causes are the Depression, anti-Semitism, and Hitler.
The depression was a major factor of the Holocaust that led to many other unfortunate events. The Great Depression put Germany in a crisis, caused unemployment rates to be high, and people were desperate for change from the misery they were in.

The birth of the Nazi regime, the widespread of an anti-Semitic view, and the “Final Solution” was all conducted through him. At first, Hitler’s regime was weak and failed to overthrow the German democracy. Hitler was determined and wanted to gain power by legal means. The depression and anti-Semitic literature were two major factors that aided him greatly in completing this goal. Hitler conducted the largest Jewish genocide in history. Despite the fact there were Jewish genocides before, no other Jewish genocide was as large as the Holocaust. In Germany, anti-Semitism was never that popular before Hitler. He said that the Holocaust would be known as the “Final Solution” and he introduced anti-Semitic laws. The holocaust was to provide a better future for Germany. Hitler maintained his regime and his cruel rule by using Anti-Semitic literature as propaganda, invading neighbouring countries and controlling the most powerful army in the world. Without Hitler, the Nazi regime would never exist, would never come into power and “The Final Solution” would had never taken place. In conclusion, the three main causes of the Holocaust are the Depression, Anti-Semitism, and Hitler. The depression made times rough which caused the perfect opportunity for Hitler to come into power. Anti-Semitism was used as propaganda and for the “Final Solution”. Thirdly, Hitler was the mastermind behind the Holocaust. Without these major factors, it is certain the Holocaust would have never happened. The world must learn from this tragic event so that it never happens
